G'day Gents,

Was driving the GQ to work yesterday (TD42) and was functioning fine until I entered a 100km/h zone and began to accelerate.

Essentially, my acceleration ability was completely gone - the car was slowing down and I had to come to a complete stop. I popped the bonnet and smelt a slight burning smell. After waiting a minute (and having a colleague pull up behind me) I hopped back in and drove to work without issue. I thought it might have been a fuel delivery problem so I replaced the fuel filter yesterday.

Come this morning I had the same problem. Was fine at 100km/h for half of the trip and then (after about 15 mins of driving), I was accelerating in 4th through 80km/h and the same thing happened. Pulled over with a slightly more prominent burning smell. After a minute, travelled the other 5 mins to work.

Burning smell is similar to rich coolant smell but I couldn't see any leaks. Car temp. gauge not showing problems. Checked oil when warm and is up to level. Clutch is low to the floor (not functioning correctly).

I don't really want to drive it home this afternoon without getting it fixed so I was wondering if anybody has had similar problems/knows what the problem might be?

Any help would be appreciated,
Cheers
